Base nose is cherry with licorice overtones and a stony note. High acid. Cherry predominant on palate. Very serious for Dolcetto.

The Italian answer to Beaujolais, not much nose, light and fruit forward, soft with fine tannins finishing grippy. Extremely pleasant and would work really well with white bean dish such as cassoulet or ribollita.

Floral nose, violets and orange rind. Bright clean palate. Enough depth and complexity. Perfect $20 pizza wine.

Silky mouthfeel, raspberry palate and fruit spice nose without the piquant spice taste. Nice to try after the barolo. Daily drinker.
